verse 1 

F                            C 
Close your eyes and count to ten. 

F                        C 
Take a minute, breathe it in. 

F                         C   C/B Am    G     D9 
Watch it mixing with the wind outside your window 

      F             G 
like salt into the ocean 

F               C 
Back to wear I belong 

F                       C 
Pedal down, a brand new song 

F                       C    C/B   Am     G   D9 
Take one off to try one on 'cause there's no secret 

F   G    C 
to this life. 


   F        C        G 
I love you but I'm leavin'. 

   F        C     G      Am 
I hope you figure out one day 

F       C         G   Am 
what it is you're needin' 

       F          C                    G            C 
but if you can't help yourself, I can't make myself stay. 


verse 2 

F                      C 
Every little chord and tone 

F                     C 
Ring 'em out stick by stone. 

F                       C     C/B  Am  G   D9 
I know it used to be my home. It's far behind me 

      F         G   
and I wont look back, no. 

F                  C 
Not even a second glance. 

F                C 
Water over dirty hands 

   F                             C     C/B  Am    G    D9 
and though it doesn't make much sense right now, I'll let it 

F         G          C 
Just work out in the end. 



   F        C        G 
I love you but I'm leavin'. 

   F        C     G      Am 
I hope you figure out one day 

F       C         G   Am 
what it is you're needin' 

       F          C                    G            C 
but if you can't help yourself, I can't make myself stay. 


Bridge 

   F  
And though I don't owe an explanation, 

                                           C 
you're kind of like sittin' too close to a fire. 

   F      
I know a few feet would make it better 

                                                   C 
but this chair's so heavy, it's late, I'm gettin' tired. 

    G7  
But long gone are the days where I stand by and wait 

    C                C/B            F 
for you to just burn out or burn me up. 

           C    G 
So this is goodbye. 


   F        C        G 
I love you but I'm leavin'. 

   F        C     G      Am 
I hope you figure out one day 

F       C         G   Am 
what it is you're needin' 

       F          C                    G            C 
but if you can't help yourself, I can't make myself stay.
